Mayweather would toy with Paul Williams

[Easy-E]

if you jackasses don't think that you don't lean into your punches and just use arm length than you are ******. williams has a much longer reach than mayweather, you people are in denial if you don't see that. williams has a longer reach than ali, and thomas hearns. how the **** can you think for a second that floyd has a reach advantage? idiots.

He obviously has the reach advantage, but Floyd has very long arms for his size.
Advantage is 7 inches.

72 inches to 79 inches is 7 inches, not 10.
Totally incorrect.

What the **** are you talking about??
Gatti didnt get a shot at Floyd, it was the other way around.
Gatti was the champ, and Floyd wanted the fight.
Problem was, Gatti didnt.
So, Floyd took the long route, beating up Brussles to earn the mandatory fight with Gatti, which he expected to skyrocket his career.
It did.
The mitchell fight was his first fight at 147, a tune up for Zab Judah.

Dude shut up.
How many Williams fights have you seen that would make you believe he could hang with Floyd?

It's not the fact that he has beaten everyone that he has fought convincingly (which he has) or that those guys were all that great (which they are not).

It's the fact that this is a ***6'1 INCH SOUTHPAW WELTERWEIGHT WITH EXTREMELY LONG ARMS WHO THROWS 100 PUNCHES PER ROUND***

I don't think Williams would just automatically stop throwing so much because he saw Floyd in front of him...he'd have a good shot at hitting Floyd more than usual because of his range and the amount of punches he throws. Floyd would have to work to get to him, as Sharmba had to. I knwo Floyd is infinitely better than Sharmba, but even so it wouldn't be easy on him.

I haven't seen a ton of Williams (Rios, Mitchell, Matthysse, Cauthen) but he looks like he could develop into a very dangerous fighter. His only deal is that he's open to get hit, and a big puncher (which Floyd is not) could damage him into the course of a fight.

its funny, while i think paul matches up well with floyd, i dont think he matches up well with margo... he's too open, takes too many shots...

floyd has t-rex arms fool, they are small and stumpy, who are you kidding? he is a small, little , little man. margarito's arms are about 5 inches longer than floyds if not longer dumbass. williams has a longer reach than most heavyweights jackass.

Floyd's reach is 72" inches and margo is 73" inches!!! Paul williams reach is long 82" inches but tony pep was like 6'0 and some change and he countered him well, even though pep doesnt punch as much as Williams. Also Williams has more body and a lil chest, Floyd will punch him in chest all day and he want be able to breathe after the 7th round.

first i can garuntee you floyd will never fight paul williams..he will do what ever it takes not to. second mayweather can counter pretty good but countering a southpaw doesnt really work unless your a southpaw yourself and williams throws over 100 punches per round. thrid mayweather doesnt have enough power to keep him off. there is noway way he can keep off somebody whos reach is that long plus hes a south paw and like i said you really cant counter southpaws as well you have to pressure them and if he pressures williams, williams has the long reach and throws way more punches

Williams does have a long reach and that is his advantage, but also his weakness, if u get in his pocket and not allow him to extend his arms and use his height and stick nice hard shots to his chest, that will harness that punch output some. Dude mainly punches from his height, I've only seen a couple fights of his, but I've never seen him land effective body punches in close distances. if u get in range u can take away that reach advantage.
